Kentucky’s seller disclosure form (KREC Form 402) asks three questions every well-property buyer should notice: what the water source is, whether the seller knows of below-normal supply or pressure, and whether the water has been tested. Good questions — answered from the seller’s memory. A form answer is not a flow test, and the gap between the two is where post-closing surprises live.

Flow and recovery: what the well actually produces over a sustained draw — the number that decides whether it supports your household, not just a showing-day faucet check. Equipment: pump performance and amp draw, pressure tank charge, controls, wellhead condition and the cap’s sanitary seal. Water quality: a bacteria and nitrate test through a certified lab at minimum (what to test and where). The paper trail: the state well record if one exists — depth, casing, original yield — and any testing history the disclosure referenced.
Order it alongside the general home inspection, early in the contingency period — lab results take days, and findings only help while you can still act on them. Outcomes work exactly like any inspection finding: clean (close with confidence, keep the report as your baseline); problems (an aging pump, a waterlogged tank, a failed bacteria test — each is a priceable item and a negotiation, like a roof); a supply problem (low sustained yield is the finding that changes minds — better to learn it now than the first laundry day in August).
Central Kentucky wells vary street to street — the geology’s fracture-flow nature means the neighbor’s great well proves little about this one. That’s precisely why the flow test, not the neighborhood’s reputation, is the evidence that matters.
Well properties around Lexington’s rural fringe move every week, and a day-one well inspection never threatens a timeline — it protects the client on the purchase where the disclosure form asks the right questions but can’t verify the answers. If your buyers need inspections on real-estate deadlines, we can be the call you make.
Tell us your inspection deadline and we’ll connect you with a professional who tests flow, equipment, and water on real-estate timelines.
